What do you think about the law that allows people being able to carry a gun on campus grounds if eligible? 
“They scare me. I have a general fear of guns and also people that have guns.”

Do you think people carrying guns may feel like they overpower others that don’t?
“there is no doubt a sense of power that must come from holding a gun. Let alone a legal right to.

How does the law affect you?
“not so much. I have yet to actually see or know anyone on campus with a concealed weapon. 

Any other comments about the topic?
“Guns are like sex: they make everything so complicated once they’re introduced in the mix.

What do you think about the 2016 law that allows licensed individuals to carry a concealed weapon on campus?
“Honestly, I think its nuts. Knowing that people around me have weapons, would make my days tense.”

Do you know anybody who carries a weapon?
“Personally, no.”

How does the law affect you? 
“it just makes me feel tense. I don’t think people should carry weapons on campus. I shouldn’t have to walk around feeling nervous or anxious.”
